1. Patent system is broken, you said it. So is copyright and many other systems or maybe nearly all of them.

2. Now, the guy just wants to fight it according to the broken system and if nothing else then at least the double standard (of authorities/govt) will come out evident.

Having said these, his patent is just too generic but then so are many "touch", "pinch", "zoom", "rectangular computing devices" patents and we have had very interesting verdicts from around the world.
